Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business: The Valspar Corporation (Valspar, the Company, we, us or our) is a global leader in the paints and coatings industry. We develop, manufacture and distribute a broad range of coatings, paints and related products, and operate our business in two reportable segments: Coatings and Paints. Proposed Merger with The Sherwin-Williams Company On March 19, 2016, Valspar entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with The Sherwin-Williams Company (Sherwin-Williams) and Viking Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sherwin-Williams (Merger Sub). The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, (1) Merger Sub will be merged with and into Valspar (the Merger), with Valspar surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sherwin-Williams, and (2) at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of Valspar, par value $0.50 per share (Valspar common stock) (other than Valspar common stock held in treasury by Valspar, owned by a subsidiary of Valspar or owned by Sherwin-Williams or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, or shares with respect to which appraisal rights have been validly exercised and not lost in accordance with Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration means $113.00 per share in cash, except that if Sherwin-Williams is required, in order to obtain the necessary antitrust approvals, to commit to any divestiture, license, hold separate, sale or other disposition of or with respect to assets, businesses or product lines of Valspar, Sherwin-Williams or their subsidiaries representing, in the aggregate, in excess of $650 million of Net Sales (as defined in the Merger Agreement), then the Merger Consideration will be $105.00 per share in cash. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights, and we may be required to pay Sherwin-Williams a termination fee of $ 300 million . For further information on the Merger Agreement, refer to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2016, and which is incorporated by reference herein. On June 29, 2016, Valspar stockholders voted to adopt the Merger Agreement at a special meeting of stockholders held for that purpose. Completion of the Merger remains subject to certain closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the U.S. Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and the receipt of regulatory approvals in certain other jurisdictions. In connection with the proposed Merger, we recognized costs of $28,021 for the year ended October 28, 2016 in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, for employee-related expenses, professional services and regulatory fees. Fiscal Year: We have a 4-4-5 week accounting cycle with the fiscal year ending on the Friday on or immediately preceding October 31. Fiscal years 2016 and 2015 both include 52 weeks while 2014 includes 53 weeks. Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in which we have significant influence and where we do not have management control and are not the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method. In order to facilitate our year-end closing process, foreign subsidiaries’ financial results are included in our consolidated financial statements on a one-month lag. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: the amount of revenue deferred under extended furniture protection plans, the amount of accounts receivable that will be uncollectible, the amount of customer rebates owed, the amount of inventory reserves, the amount to be paid for other liabilities, including contingent liabilities, assumptions around the valuation of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including impairment, our pension expense and pension funding requirements, the fair value of stock option awards and the computation of our income tax expense and liability. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue from product sales at the time the product is delivered or title has passed, a sales agreement is in place, pricing is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Discounts provided to customers at the point of sale are recognized as reductions in revenue as the products are sold. We offer promotional and rebate programs to our customers. These programs require estimates of customer participation and performance and are recorded at the time of sale as deductions from revenue. We also offer consumer programs to promote the sale of our products and record them as a reduction in revenue at the time the consumer offer is made using estimated redemption and participation. Revenues exclude sales taxes collected from our customers. Additionally, in the U.S., we sell extended furniture protection plans for which revenue is deferred and recognized over the life of the contract. An actuarial study utilizing historical claims data is used to forecast claim payments over the contract period and revenue is recognized based on the forecasted claims payments. Actual claims costs are reflected in earnings in the period incurred. Anticipated losses on programs in progress are charged to earnings when identified. Differences between estimated and actual results, which have been insignificant historically, are recognized as a change in management estimate in a subsequent period. Freight Costs: Freight costs on shipments to our customers are included in cost of sales. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts by analyzing accounts receivable by age and specific collection risk. When it is deemed probable that a customer account is uncollectible, such as in the event of bankruptcy or other circumstances that make further collection unlikely, that balance is written off against the existing allowance. Cash Equivalents: We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash: Restricted cash represents cash that is restricted from withdrawal for contractual or legal reasons. Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Our domestic inventories, except for our Quest Specialty Chemicals (Quest) subsidiaries, are recorded using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The remaining inventories are recorded using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Other Assets: We have long-term contracts with certain customers, under which we are obligated to make various up-front payments for which we expect to receive a benefit in excess of the cost over the term of the contract. These up-front payments are deferred and reflected in other assets. Contract incentives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, while equipment is amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the economic life of the equipment or the term of the contract. Amortization expense for contract incentives is classified in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as a reduction of revenue. In certain circumstances, payments for equipment will meet the specific identifiable benefit criteria and the amortization expense will be classified in operating expenses. Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. Indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of purchased technology, trademarks and trade names. Goodwill for each of our reporting units and indefinite-lived assets is tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter, and between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances change. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a component of an operating segment for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed by management on a regular basis. We have determined that we have four separate reporting units with goodwill. There was no change to our reporting units in 2016, 2015 or 2014. The goodwill test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the reporting unit’s fair value exceeds its carrying value, no further procedures are required. However, if the reporting unit’s fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment of goodwill may exist, requiring a second step to measure the amount of impairment loss. In step 2, we would calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets (including unrecognized intangible assets) of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference. In applying the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests, we may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units is less than its carrying value (step 0). Qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to, economic, market and industry conditions, cost factors, and overall financial performance of the reporting unit. If, after assessing these qualitative factors, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the carrying value is less than the fair value, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. For the two-step impairment test, in step 1, we calculate the fair value of the reporting units weighting the income approach and the market approach which is then compared with the reporting units carrying value. For the income approach, we utilize a discounted cash flow where the discount rate reflects the weighted average costs of capital. The income approach is most sensitive to the discount rate, long-term sales growth rates and forecasted operating margins. For the market approach, average revenue and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization multiples derived from our peer group are weighted and adjusted for size, risk and growth of the individual reporting unit to determine the reporting unit’s business enterprise fair value. Additionally, in assessing goodwill impairment, we consider the implied control premium and if it is reasonable based on other recent market transactions. For indefinite-lived intangible assets, we utilize a relief from royalty method when applying the quantitative assessment. The relief from royalty method is most sensitive to the discount rate, royalty rate and long-term sales growth rates. If the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeds the fair value of the asset, the carrying value is written down to fair value in the period identified. The following is a description of the goodwill and indefinite-lived assets impairment tests performed for each of the fiscal years: Fiscal Year 2016 During the annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests, we assessed qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying value (step 0). We concluded that it was more likely than not that the carrying value was less than the fair value. Accordingly, we did not perform a two-step quantitative analysis. Fiscal Years 2015 and 2014 During the annual impairment tests, we performed step 1 of the quantitative goodwill impairment test. In both years, we determined that the fair value exceeded the carrying value and did not perform step 2. During the annual impairment tests, we performed step 1 of the indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test. In both years, we determined that the fair value exceeded the carrying value and did not perform further analysis. Impairment of Long-Lived Tangible and Intangible Assets with Finite Lives: We evaluate long-lived assets, including tangible and intangible assets with finite lives, for indicators of impairment. An impairment loss is recognized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable. When reviewing for impairment, assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. We consider historical performance and future estimated results in our evaluation of impairment. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds expected undiscounted future cash flows, we measure the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. Intangibles with finite lives (primarily customer lists and patents) are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment, including capitalized interest, are recorded at cost. Property under capital lease is being amortized as a provision for depreciation over the shorter of the lease or their useful lives. Expenditures that improve or extend the life of the respective assets are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Provision for depreciation of property, plant and equipment are made by charges to operations at rates calculated to amortize the cost of the property, plant and equipment over their useful lives ( 20 years for buildings; 1 to 10 years for machinery and equipment) primarily using the straight-line method. Stock-Based Compensation: We recognized compensation expense for our stock-based compensation plans, which include non-qualified stock options, cash settled restricted stock units, restricted stock, and other equity settled awards. Expense for options with graded vesting is recognized using the straight-line method. The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined at the grant date and the recognition of the related expense is recorded over the requisite service period of the award. Share awards are issued from common stock in treasury. See Note 10 for additional information. Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $49,393 , $56,697 and $81,855 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Foreign Currency Translation: Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates throughout the period. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on translation of assets and liabilities is recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity (accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other expense (income), net. Financial Instruments: All financial instruments are held for purposes other than trading. See Note 8 for additional information. Research and Development: Research and development is expensed as incurred.

Acquisitions And Divestitures	ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES On February 4, 2016, we purchased ISVA Vernici (ISVA), a European coil coatings manufacturer headquartered in Turin, Italy, for total consideration of approximately $23,000 . The ISVA acquisition extends our manufacturing footprint in Europe and brings customers an expanded product offering and increased customer service capabilities. The acquisition was recorded at fair value in our Coatings segment and an allocation of the purchase price has been substantially completed, with the exception of certain tax items. These adjustments are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation within one year of the date of acquisition. The assets, liabilities and operating results have been included in our financial statements from the date of acquisition. On June 1, 2015, we purchased the performance coating businesses of Quest, which include automotive refinish, aerosol and related specialty paint products, for total consideration of approximately $350,000 . The acquisition strengthens our value proposition in automotive refinish and broadens distribution and range of high-performance products. The acquisition was recorded at fair value primarily in our Paints segment and an allocation of the purchase price has been completed. The assets, liabilities and operating results have been included in our financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations for the acquisitions noted above have not been presented, as they were immaterial to the reported results. On December 17, 2014, we completed the divestiture of a non-strategic specialty product line in our Coatings segment. The divested assets consisted primarily of goodwill, working capital and intellectual property. The pro forma results of operations for this divestiture have not been presented, as the impact on the reported results is not material. We recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of the product line of approximately $48,001 to income from operations.

The decrease in intangible assets during fiscal year 2016 is due to foreign currency translation and amortization, offset by customer lists and trademarks acquired from acquisitions. The increase in goodwill during fiscal year 2015 is due to the Quest acquisition partially offset by foreign currency translation and the divestiture of a non-strategic specialty product offering in our Coatings segment. The increase in intangible assets during fiscal year 2015 is primarily due to acquired customer lists, trademarks and technology as part of the Quest acquisition, partially offset by foreign currency translation and amortization. Total intangible asset amortization expense was $11,806 , $9,640 , and $8,273 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The remaining life averages for assets included in the customer lists and other categories is 24 years and 28 years, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is approximately $12,000 annually.

Guarantees [Abstract]
Guarantees	GUARANTEES Furniture Protection Plans: We sell extended furniture protection plans and offer warranties for certain products. In the U.S., revenue related to furniture protection plans is deferred and recognized over the contract life. The range of contractual lives for our extended furniture protection plans is three years to lifetime warranty (estimated as 20 years). We have not sold lifetime warranty plans since 2005. Our furniture protection plans outstanding as of October 28, 2016 have a weighted average contractual life of approximately 11 years; however, we expect to pay substantially all of the claims for such plans within five years. We periodically assess the adequacy of these recorded amounts and adjust as necessary. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted furniture protection plan contracts are made in the period in which such losses can be estimated. The extended furniture protection plans that we enter into have fixed prices. To the extent the actual costs to complete contracts differ from the amounts estimated as of the date of the financial statements, gross margin would be affected in future periods when we revise our estimates. Warranties: We offer warranties for certain products. For product warranties, we estimate the costs that may be incurred under these warranties based on historical claims data and record a liability in the amount of such costs at the time revenue is recognized. Anticipated losses are charged to earnings when identified. Changes in the recorded amounts included in other accrued liabilities, both short and long-term during the three years ended October 28, 2016 are as follows: Balance, October 25, 2013 $ 78,818 Additional net deferred revenue/accrual made during the period 8,982 Payments made during the period (7,173 ) Balance, October 31, 2014 $ 80,627 Additional net deferred revenue/accrual made during the period 11,086 Payments made during the period (8,842 ) Balance, October 30, 2015 $ 82,871 Additional net deferred revenue/accrual made during the period 17,275 Payments made during the period (10,108 ) Balance, October 28, 2016 $ 90,038

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value or disclose the fair value of certain assets and liabilities recorded at cost in the Consolidated Financial Statements on both a recurring and non-recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value accounting rules establish a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs must be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based upon the best information available. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are to be categorized into one of the three hierarchy levels based on the inputs used in the valuation. We classify assets and liabilities in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. Transfers of instruments between levels are recorded based on end of period values. There were no transfers between levels for all periods presented. The three levels are defined as follows: • Level 1: Observable inputs based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: Observable inputs based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about what inputs a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following tables provide information by level for assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis: Fair Value at Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered as Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Cash equivalents $ 39,842 $ 39,842 $ — $ — Restricted cash 1 857 857 — — Foreign currency contracts 2 267 — 267 — Deferred compensation plan assets 3 12,864 12,864 — — Total assets $ 53,830 $ 53,563 $ 267 $ — Fair Value at Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered as Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Cash equivalents $ 26,139 $ 26,139 $ — $ — Restricted cash 1 1,307 1,307 — — Foreign currency contracts 2 207 — 207 — Deferred compensation plan assets 3 6,579 6,579 — — Total assets $ 34,232 $ 34,025 $ 207 $ — 1 Restricted cash represents cash that is restricted from withdrawal for contractual or legal reasons. 2 In the Consolidated Balance Sheets, foreign currency contracts are included in prepaid expenses and other when in an asset position and other accrued liabilities when in a liability position. The fair market value was estimated using observable market data for similar financial instruments. See Note 8 for additional information on derivative financial instruments. 3 The Deferred Compensation Plan Assets consist of the investment funds maintained for the future payments under the Company's deferred compensation plan, which is structured as a rabbi trust. Investments held in the rabbi trust are publicly-traded mutual funds. Rabbi trust assets are considered irrevocable, and may only be used to pay participant benefits under the plan. The only exception is the event of bankruptcy, in which case the assets in the rabbi trust would be subject to the claims of creditors of the corporation. In the Consolidated Balance Sheets, rabbi trust assets are included in other assets. The following tables provide information regarding the estimated fair value of our outstanding debt which is recorded at carrying value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets: Fair Value at Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered as Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Debt 1 Publicly traded debt $ 1,777,957 $ 1,777,957 $ — $ — Non-publicly traded debt 78,398 — 78,398 — Total debt $ 1,856,355 $ 1,777,957 $ 78,398 $ — Fair Value at Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered as Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Debt 1 Publicly traded debt $ 1,741,003 $ 1,741,003 $ — $ — Non-publicly traded debt 341,086 — 341,086 — Total debt $ 2,082,089 $ 1,741,003 $ 341,086 $ — 1 Debt is recorded at carrying value of $1,778,398 and $2,041,086 on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 28, 2016 and October 30, 2015 , respectively. The fair value of our publicly traded debt is based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets. The fair value of our non-publicly traded debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on our current borrowing costs for debt with similar maturities. In addition, the carrying values of our commercial paper included in non-publicly traded debt approximate the financial instrument’s fair value as the maturities are less than three months. See Note 9 for additional information on debt. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements We measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets primarily include assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of an acquisition, as well as property, plant and equipment when the planned use of the asset changes. See Note 2 for additional information on our acquisitions and Note 18 for additional information on restructuring.

Derivative Financial Instruments	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS We use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate and foreign currency exchange risks. We enter into derivative financial instruments with high-credit quality counterparties and diversify our positions among such counterparties to reduce our exposure to credit losses. We do not have any credit-risk-related contingent features in our derivative contracts as of October 28, 2016 . At October 28, 2016 , we had $6,141 notional amount of foreign currency contracts that mature during fiscal year 2017 . These foreign currency contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges with unrealized gains or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to other expense (income) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the underlying hedged item is realized. At October 30, 2015 , we had $8,903 notional amount of foreign currency contracts maturing in fiscal year 2016 . There was no material ineffectiveness for these hedges during 2016 or 2015 . At October 28, 2016 and October 30, 2015 , we had no treasury lock contracts in place. The accumulated other comprehensive loss amount in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 28, 2016 and October 30, 2015 represents the unamortized gains and losses, net of tax, from treasury lock contracts settled in previous periods. Unamortized gains and losses are reclassified ratably from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations over the term of the related debt. At October 28, 2016 , the amount that will be recognized in interest expense in fiscal year 2017 is $1,402 .

The public offering was made pursuant to a registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We used the net proceeds from this offering for the repayment of borrowings under the term loan credit facility that was entered into on May 29, 2015. On May 29, 2015, we entered into a $350,000 term loan credit agreement with a syndicate of banks with a maturity date of November 29, 2016. This facility was used to provide funding for the acquisition of Quest. See Note 2 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the acquisition.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Our 2015 Omnibus Equity Plan (the Omnibus Plan) authorizes us to grant or issue non-qualified stock options, cash settled awards, share awards and other equity settled awards of up to 7,000,000 shares of common stock. Under the Omnibus Plan, awards denominated in shares of common stock other than options reduce the pool of reserved shares at a multiple of 3.51 times the number of shares awarded. Stock options awarded through the Omnibus Plan reduce the reserved share pool at a rate equal to the number of options granted. As of October 28, 2016 , there were 4,105,254 shares available for future grants. Upon adoption and approval of the Omnibus Plan, all of our previous equity incentive compensation plans were terminated. However, existing awards under those plans continue to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedule and will expire at the end of their original term. Total stock-based compensation expense was $30,250 , $14,793 and $28,314 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Stock Options: Stock options issued to participants other than non-employees and retirement eligible employees vest over three to five years and typically have a contractual term of 10 years. Stock options vest immediately upon grant for non-employee directors. Stock-based compensation expense included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for stock options was $5,522 , $1,826 , and $6,382 in fiscal year 2016 , 2015 , and 2014 , respectively. The total grant-date fair value of options vested during the year was $6,974 , $6,363 and $4,444 in fiscal year 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. As of October 28, 2016 , there was $6,085 of total unrecognized pre-tax compensation cost related to non-vested awards that are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Annually, we make predictive assumptions regarding future stock price volatility, employee exercise behavior, dividend yield, and the forfeiture rate. The dividend yield assumption is based on the expected annual dividend yield on the grant date. Expected stock price volatility is estimated using historical volatility over the expected life of the option. The risk-free interest rate for periods during the expected term of the options is based on yields available on the grant date for U.S. Treasury STRIPS with maturity consistent with the expected life assumption. The expected life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding based on historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model. The following table sets forth the weighted-average fair values and assumptions on which the fair values are determined. There were no stock option awards granted during 2016: 2015 2014 Expected dividend yield 1.7 % 1.4 % Expected stock price volatility 23.0 % 30.0 % Risk-free interest rate 1.8 % 2.2 % Expected life of options 6.7 years 6.8 years Weighted average fair value on the date of grant $15.72 $22.54 Stock option activity for the three years ended October 28, 2016 is summarized as follows: Options Outstanding Weighted Average Exercise Price per share1 Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life Aggregate Intrinsic Value 2 Balance, October 25, 2013 6,062,817 $ 31.37 5.9 years $ 235,887 Granted 297,865 76.50 Exercised (1,098,023 ) 25.18 54,909 Canceled (20,419 ) 53.07 Balance, October 31, 2014 5,242,240 $ 35.15 5.5 years $ 246,440 Granted 467,860 72.58 Exercised (621,237 ) 28.20 34,497 Canceled (51,301 ) 68.27 Balance, October 30, 2015 5,037,562 $ 39.15 5.2 years $ 210,609 Granted — — Exercised (684,735 ) 26.90 44,994 Canceled (9,816 ) 67.78 Balance, October 28, 2016 4,343,011 $ 41.01 4.6 years $ 246,345 Exercisable 3,927,965 37.63 4.2 years 236,072 1 The exercise price of the options granted during these periods was equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. 2 Intrinsic values are based on our closing stock price on the last trading day of the year for in-the-money options. Options exercisable of 4,241,769 at October 30, 2015 and 4,489,970 at October 31, 2014 had weighted-average exercise prices of $32.99 and $29.74 , respectively. Restricted Stock: Restricted stock awards vest over three to five years. Stock-based compensation expense included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for restricted stock was $2,607 , $2,161 and $5,878 in fiscal year 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

Pensions And Other Post-Retirem

Pensions And Other Post-Retirement Benefits	12 Months Ended
	Oct. 28, 2016
Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Pensions And Other Post-Retirement Benefits	PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS Savings and Retirement Plan: We sponsor a Savings and Retirement Plan for substantially all of our U.S. employees. Under the Plan, we match employee contributions up to a maximum of 3% of employees’ compensation. In addition to matching employees’ contributions throughout the year, there is a year-end discretionary contribution that can range from 4% to 13% of eligible employees’ pay as defined in the Plan. U.S. employees who are not eligible for the Savings and Retirement Plan have the option to participate in a separate 401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan. We match employee contributions made by participants in that plan up to a maximum of 3% of employees’ compensation. In addition to matching employees’ contributions throughout the year, there is a discretionary year-end matching contribution that can range from 0 % to 3% . Employer contributions to the Plans totaled $27,502 , $20,927 , and $20,981 for 2016 , 2015 , and 2014 , respectively. Executive Retirement Plans: We have Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (SERPs) to provide retirement, death and disability benefits to a limited number of former employees. Annual benefits under the SERPs are based on years of service and individual compensation near retirement. Pension and Post-Retirement Medical Plans: We sponsor several defined benefit pension plans for certain hourly and salaried employees. The benefits for most of these plans are generally based on stated amounts for each year of service. We fund the plans in amounts consistent with the limits of allowable tax deductions. During fiscal year 2016 , we made contributions of approximately $2,101 to our pension plans. We also sponsor a post-retirement medical plan that provides subsidized medical benefits for eligible retired employees and their eligible dependents. The plan changed on January 1, 2009 to eliminate the subsidy for future retirees with the exception of a small group of employees near retirement that will still be eligible for the subsidized coverage at retirement. A 1% increase in the medical trend rates would not have a material effect on post-retirement medical expense or the post-retirement benefit obligation. For the fiscal year ending October 27, 2017, we expect our total contributions to our funded pension plans, unfunded pension, non-qualified plans and post-retirement medical plans to be at least $1,438 . The cost of pension and post-retirement medical benefits recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows: Pension 2016 2015 2014 Service cost $ 2,709 $ 3,543 $ 4,358 Interest cost 12,992 13,734 14,848 Expected return on plan assets (19,115 ) (19,294 ) (19,907 ) Amortization of prior service cost 448 484 480 Recognized actuarial loss 6,532 6,602 6,190 Net periodic benefit cost 3,566 5,069 5,969 Settlement gain 66 (52 ) (422 ) Curtailment gain — (2,913 ) — Net total benefit cost $ 3,632 $ 2,104 $ 5,547 Post-Retirement Medical 2016 2015 2014 Service cost $ 287 $ 204 $ 153 Interest cost 358 367 382 Expected return on plan assets N/A N/A N/A Amortization of prior service cost (128 ) (128 ) (128 ) Recognized actuarial loss 385 431 369 Net periodic benefit cost $ 902 $ 874 $ 776 The plans’ funded status is shown below, along with a description of how the status changed during the past two years.

The effect of any changes in actuarial assumptions is recorded in net periodic benefit cost. These assumptions are weighted to reflect each country having requirements that may impact the cost of providing retirement benefits. We employ a total return investment approach for the domestic and foreign pension plan assets. A mix of equities and fixed income investments are used to maximize the long-term return on plan assets for a prudent level of risk. In determining the expected long-term rate of return, management considers the historical rates of return, the nature of investments and an expectation of future investment strategies. Our expected return on plan assets utilizes a calculated-value technique that recognizes changes in actual investment return from expected investment return in a systematic and rational manner over a 5 year period. We use the most recent mortality tables available for each country. Pension Post-Retirement Medical Assumption Ranges Used in Net Periodic Benefit Cost 2016 2015 2016 2015 Discount rate 2.25% - 4.50% 2.50% - 4.50% 4.50 % 4.25 % Expected long-term return on plan assets 6.00% - 7.25% 2.50% - 7.25% N/A N/A Average increase in compensation 2.25% - 3.25% 2.25% - 3.25% N/A N/A Initial medical trend rate N/A N/A 7.00 % 7.00 % Ultimate medical trend rate N/A N/A 5.00 % 5.00 % Years to ultimate rate N/A N/A 6 Years 4 Years Pension Post-Retirement Medical Assumption Ranges Used to Determine Benefit Obligation 2016 2015 2016 2015 Discount rate 1.25% - 4.00% 2.25% - 4.50% 4.00 % 4.50 % Rate of compensation increase 2.25% - 3.25% 2.25% - 3.25% N/A N/A Initial medical trend rate N/A N/A 7.00 % 7.00 % Ultimate medical trend rate N/A N/A 5.00 % 5.00 % Years to ultimate rate N/A N/A 5 Years 6 Years Investment Strategy: We have a master trust that holds the assets for all our U.S. pension plans. For investment purposes, the plans are managed in an identical way, as their objectives are similar. The Benefit Funds Investment Committee (Committee), along with assistance from external consultants, sets investment guidelines and makes asset allocation decisions based on market conditions, risk tolerance, funding requirements and expected benefit payments. The Committee also oversees the selection of investment managers and monitors asset performance. As pension liabilities are long-term in nature, the Committee employs a long-term rate of return on plan assets approach for a prudent level of risk. Historical returns are considered as well as advice from investment experts. Annually, the Committee and the consultants review the risk versus the return of the investment portfolio to assess the long-term rate of return assumption. The U.S. investment portfolio contains a diversified portfolio of investment categories, including domestic and international equities and short and long-term fixed income securities. Among the equity investments there is also diversity of style, growth versus value. Plan assets did not include investments in our stock as of the reported dates. The Committee believes with prudent risk tolerance and asset diversification, the plans should be able to meet their pension obligations in the future. The weighted average asset allocations for the past two fiscal years by asset category are as follows: Pension Plans Asset Allocation 2016 2015 Target Allocation Equity securities 57 % 60 % 50% - 60% Debt securities 42 % 39 % 40% - 50% Other 1 % 1 % — % Total 100 % 100 % 100 % The following tables provide information on the fair value of pension plan assets.

Pension plan investments in mutual funds that are not exchange-traded, and commingled trusts, and certain other investments are classified as Level 2 investments within the fair value hierarchy. These investments are valued at net asset value based on the underlying securities, as determined by the sponsor. Level 3 investments are related to real estate in the U.S. pension plans. The fair value is determined primarily based on the cost basis of the real estate . There were no transfers between levels for all periods presented. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported. The valuation methods previously described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realized value or reflective of future fair values.

The valuation allowances of $7,996 and $15,872 at the end of fiscal years 2016 and 2015 respectively, primarily relate to foreign net operating losses. Cumulative foreign tax loss carryforwards at the end of fiscal year 2016 were $74,409 . Of this amount, $29,429 will be subject to expiration between fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2026. The majority of these foreign tax loss carryforwards will be subject to expiration beginning in 2021. The remaining losses of $44,980 are not subject to expiration. Cumulative foreign tax credits at the end of fiscal year 2016 were $32,324 . The majority of these foreign tax credits will be subject to expiration in fiscal years 2025 and 2026. A reconciliation of income tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to the effective income tax rate is as follows: 2016 2015 2014 Tax (benefit) at U.S. statutory rate 35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % State income taxes, net of federal benefit 1.5 % 1.5 % 1.3 % Domestic manufacturing activities (1.8 )% (1.5 )% (1.6 )% Tax credit on foreign dividends (6.3 )% (2.3 )% — % Non-U.S. taxes (3.7 )% (3.2 )% (2.4 )% Valuation allowance (1.8 )% — % (1.8 )% Research and Development Credit (3.3 )% — % — % Other (0.8 )% (0.4 )% (0.7 )% Total effective income tax rate 18.8 % 29.1 % 29.8 % No provision has been made for U.S. federal income taxes on certain undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that we intend to permanently invest or that may be remitted substantially tax-free. The total of undistributed earnings that would be subject to federal income tax if remitted under existing law is approximately $588,777 at October 28, 2016 . Determination of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable because of the complexities with its hypothetical calculation. Upon distribution of these earnings, we will be subject to U.S. taxes and withholding taxes payable to various foreign governments. A credit for foreign taxes already paid would be available to reduce the U.S. tax liability. We recognize investment tax credits under the "flow-through" method, with the credit reflected as a reduction to income taxes payable and a current income tax benefit in the year realized. Our income tax returns, like those of most companies, are periodically audited by domestic and foreign tax authorities. These audits include questions regarding our tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. At any one time, multiple tax years are subject to audit by the various tax authorities. We record an accrual for uncertain tax positions after evaluating the positions associated with our various income tax filings. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter for which we have established an accrual is audited and fully resolved or clarified. We adjust our tax contingencies accrual and income tax provision in the period in which matters are effectively settled with tax authorities at amounts different from our established accrual, the statute of limitations expires for the relevant taxing authority to examine the tax position or when more information becomes available. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) for fiscal year 2014 through 2016 is as follows: Unrecognized tax benefits at October 25, 2013 $ 15,363 Increases in tax positions for prior years 3,004 Decreases in tax positions for prior years (217 ) Increases in tax positions for current year 3,029 Settlements — Lapse in statute of limitations (2,413 ) Unrecognized tax benefits at October 31, 2014 $ 18,766 Increases in tax positions for prior years 2,096 Decreases in tax positions for prior years (23 ) Increases in tax positions for current year 390 Settlements (3,485 ) Lapse in statute of limitations (2,144 ) Unrecognized tax benefits at October 30, 2015 $ 15,600 Increases in tax positions for prior years 2,734 Decreases in tax positions for prior years (264 ) Increases in tax positions for current year 2,791 Settlements — Lapse in statute of limitations (1,794 ) Unrecognized tax benefits at October 28, 2016 $ 19,067 We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. We had accrued interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits of $4,179 and $4,243 as of October 28, 2016 and October 30, 2015 , respectively. The gross amount of interest expense (income) and penalties included in tax expense for the year ended October 28, 2016 , October 30, 2015 , and October 31, 2014 was $(63) , $(1,137) , and $61 , respectively. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect our effective tax rate if recognized was $16,674 , $13,668 , and $18,169 as of October 28, 2016 , October 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014 , respectively. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2011. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed the audit of our U.S. federal tax returns for fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2013. There were no material adjustments to our income tax expense or balance of unrecognized tax benefits as a result of those audits. The IRS is currently auditing our U.S. federal income tax return for fiscal year 2012. We are also currently under audit in several state and foreign jurisdictions. We do not anticipate any material adjustments to our income tax expense or balance of unrecognized tax benefits as a result of those audits. We also expect various statutes of limitation to expire during the next 12 months . Due to the uncertain response of taxing authorities, a range of outcomes cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Net Income Per Common Share	NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE The following table presents the net income per common share calculations for the three most recent fiscal years: 2016 2015 2014 Basic Net income $ 353,040 $ 399,506 $ 345,401 Weighted-average common shares outstanding - basic 79,009,955 80,429,741 83,710,111 Net income per common share - basic $ 4.47 $ 4.97 $ 4.13 Diluted Net income $ 353,040 $ 399,506 $ 345,401 Weighted-average common shares outstanding - basic 79,009,955 80,429,741 83,710,111 Diluted effect of stock options and unvested restricted stock 2,010,021 2,016,962 2,335,946 Weighted-average common shares outstanding - diluted 81,019,976 82,446,703 86,046,057 Net income per common share - diluted $ 4.36 $ 4.85 $ 4.01 Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. In computing diluted earnings per share, the number of common shares outstanding is increased by common stock options and unvested restricted stock with exercise prices lower than the average market prices of common shares during each period and reduced by the number of shares assumed to have been purchased with proceeds from the exercised options. Potential common shares of 14,694 , 316,236 , and 209,523 related to our outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for 2016 , 2015 , and 2014 , respectively, as inclusion of these shares would have been antidilutive.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	SEGMENT INFORMATION Based on the nature of our products, technology, manufacturing processes, customers and regulatory environment, we aggregate our operating segments into two reportable segments: Coatings and Paints. We are required to report segment information in the same way that management internally organizes its business for assessing performance and making decisions regarding allocation of resources. We evaluate the performance of operating segments and allocate resources based on earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). The Coatings segment aggregates our industrial product lines and packaging product line. Industrial products include a broad range of decorative and protective coatings for metal, wood and plastic. Packaging products include both interior and exterior coatings used in packaging containers, principally metal food containers and beverage cans. The products of this segment are sold throughout the world. The Paints segment aggregates our consumer paint and automotive refinish product lines. Consumer paint products include interior and exterior decorative paints, stains, primers, varnishes, high performance floor paints and specialty decorative products, such as enamels, aerosols and faux finishes primarily distributed for the do-it-yourself and professional markets in Australia, China, Europe and North America. Automotive refinish products include refinish paints and aerosol spray paints sold through automotive refinish distributors, body shops and automotive supply distributors and retailers in many countries around the world. Our remaining activities are included in Other and Administrative. These activities include specialty polymers and colorants that are used internally and sold to other coatings manufacturers, as well as related products, furniture protection plans and furniture care and repair products. Also included within Other and Administrative are our corporate administrative expenses. The administrative expenses include expenses not directly allocated to any other reportable segment. In the following table, sales between segments are recorded at selling prices that are below market prices, generally intended to recover internal costs. Segment EBIT includes income realized on inter-segment sales. Comparative segment data for fiscal years 2016 , 2015 , and 2014 are as follows: 2016 2015 2014 Net Sales Coatings $ 2,388,133 $ 2,496,528 $ 2,585,416 Paints 1,564,531 1,661,186 1,806,051 Other and Administrative 426,539 448,006 412,073 Less inter-segment sales (188,651 ) (213,098 ) (177,916 ) Total net sales $ 4,190,552 $ 4,392,622 $ 4,625,624 2016 2015 2014 EBIT Coatings $ 444,190 $ 483,649 $ 389,390 Paints 149,539 173,435 192,222 Other and Administrative (68,650 ) (11,935 ) (24,400 ) Total EBIT 525,079 645,149 557,212 Interest expense 90,560 81,348 65,330 Income before income taxes $ 434,519 $ 563,801 $ 491,882 2016 2015 2014 Depreciation and Amortization Coatings $ 44,581 $ 45,442 $ 54,039 Paints 33,694 28,907 30,676 Other and Administrative 19,747 18,254 16,195 Total depreciation and amortization $ 98,022 $ 92,603 $ 100,910 2016 2015 Identifiable Assets Coatings $ 2,327,740 $ 2,268,649 Paints 1,553,597 1,616,919 Other and Administrative 1 433,213 433,007 Total identifiable assets $ 4,314,550 $ 4,318,575 1 Includes our consolidated cash and cash equivalent balances and restricted cash. 2016 2015 2014 Capital Expenditures Coatings $ 80,370 $ 53,459 $ 47,122 Paints 16,251 16,623 42,313 Other and Administrative 23,799 27,044 31,836 Total capital expenditures $ 120,420 $ 97,126 $ 121,271 It is not practicable to obtain the information needed to disclose revenues attributable to each of our identified product lines within our reportable segments. Geographic net sales are based on the country from which the customer was billed for the products sold. The United States is the largest country for customer sales. China and Australia are the only countries outside of the United States that represent more than 10% of consolidated sales. Long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment, intangibles and goodwill attributable to each country’s operations. Net sales and long-lived assets by geographic region are as follows: 2016 2015 2014 Net Sales - External United States $ 2,321,228 $ 2,381,677 $ 2,478,770 China 467,650 545,750 524,368 Australia 263,624 294,726 352,540 Other Countries 1,138,050 1,170,469 1,269,946 Total net sales - external $ 4,190,552 $ 4,392,622 $ 4,625,624 2016 2015 Long-lived Assets United States $ 1,737,776 $ 1,743,104 China 482,307 506,912 Australia 88,921 82,275 Other Countries 269,544 231,277 Total long-lived assets $ 2,578,548 $ 2,563,568 We have one significant customer in the Paints segment whose net sales were 12.3% , 14.4% , and 16.9% of total consolidated net sales in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Legal Proceedings	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Environmental Matters We are involved in various claims relating to environmental matters at a number of current and former plant sites and waste management sites. We engage or participate in remedial and other environmental compliance activities at certain of these sites. At other sites, we have been named as a potentially responsible party (PRP) under federal and state environmental laws for site remediation. We analyze each individual site, considering the number of parties involved, the level of our potential liability or contribution relative to the other parties, the nature and magnitude of the hazardous wastes involved, the method and extent of remediation, the potential insurance coverage, the estimated legal and consulting expense with respect to each site and the time period over which any costs would likely be incurred. Based on the above analysis, we estimate the clean-up costs and related claims for each site. The estimates are based in part on discussion with other PRPs, governmental agencies and engineering firms. We accrue appropriate reserves for potential environmental liabilities when the amount of the costs that will be incurred can be reasonably determined. Accruals are reviewed and adjusted as additional information becomes available. While uncertainties exist with respect to the amounts and timing of our ultimate environmental liabilities, we believe it is neither probable nor reasonably possible that such liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Other Legal Matters We are involved in a variety of legal claims and proceedings relating to personal injury, product liability, warranties, customer contracts, employment, trade practices, environmental and other legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. These claims and proceedings include cases where we are one of a number of defendants in proceedings alleging that the plaintiffs suffered injuries or contracted diseases from exposure to chemicals or other ingredients used in the production of some of our products or waste disposal. We are also subject to claims related to the performance of our products. We believe these claims and proceedings are in the ordinary course for a business of the type and size in which we are engaged. While we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these claims and proceedings, we believe it is neither probable nor reasonably possible that the costs and liabilities of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring	RESTRUCTURING Restructuring charges in fiscal year 2016 primarily relate to initiatives to improve our global cost structure by consolidating our manufacturing operations in the Paints segment and reducing non-manufacturing headcount in our Paints and Coatings segments. These initiatives included moving manufacturing of selected products in our consumer paints product line to a third party (continuation of an initiative started in 2015), consolidating three sites in our automotive product line as a result of the Quest acquisition and reducing headcount in our Australia and Europe regions. These restructuring activities resulted in pre-tax charges of $18,505 in fiscal year 2016 . Included in fiscal year 2016 restructuring charges were pre-tax non-cash asset-related charges of $7,358 . Asset-related charges include asset impairment charges as well as accelerated depreciation for assets with useful lives that have been shortened, accounted for in accordance with ASC 360. Restructuring charges in fiscal year 2015 included the following: (i) actions to close a manufacturing facility and other facilities in the Coatings segment to rationalize operations in the Australia region, (ii) actions to streamline and consolidate administrative operations in the Europe region and (iii) initiatives in the Paints segment to improve our North American cost structure through staffing reductions and actions to rationalize our manufacturing operations by moving certain manufacturing to a third party. These restructuring activities resulted in pre-tax charges of $21,569 , including non-cash asset-related charges of $2,842 . Fiscal year 2014 restructuring initiatives related primarily to initiatives that began in fiscal year 2013, including the following: (i) actions in the Paints segment to consolidate manufacturing and distribution operations following the acquisition of Ace Hardware Corporation's paint manufacturing business, ongoing profit improvement plans in Australia, and other actions in Asia, (ii) actions in our Coatings segment to consolidate manufacturing operations in Europe following the acquisition of the Inver Group and other actions to rationalize manufacturing operations and lower operating expenses, (iii) overall initiatives to improve our global cost structure, including non-manufacturing headcount reductions, and (iv) in the fourth quarter of 2014, activities initiated to rationalize manufacturing operations in the Coatings segment in the Australia region. These restructuring activities resulted in pre-tax charges of $41,139 , including non-cash asset-related charges of $11,141 . The total resulting expenses recognized in fiscal year 2016 , 2015 , and 2014 included severance and employee benefits, asset impairments, professional services and site clean-up. We plan to pay the majority of the current restructuring liabilities within the next twelve months. We currently expect additional expenses of approximately $1,200 in fiscal year 2017 for these restructuring plans, primarily related to site clean-up costs, employment-related costs and accelerated depreciation.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance on intra-entity asset transfers (other than inventory) that will require immediate recognition of current and deferred income tax consequences for intercompany asset transfers at the time of the asset transfer. Under the existing standard, current and deferred income tax consequences are recognized when the assets are sold to an outside party. This new guidance is intended to align with International Accounting Standards 12 – Income Taxes. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2017, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows and is intended to simplify guidance that is currently absent for debt prepayments and extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after business combinations, and separately identifiable cash flows, among other clarifications. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the revised guidance and assessing the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued an update to accounting standards regarding accounting for employee share-based payments. The new guidance is intended to provide simplification of share-based payment transaction accounting, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as presentation in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the revised guidance and assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on leases. The new guidance requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under existing GAAP. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020, and modified retrospective adoption is required. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the revised guidance and assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The new guidance requires that deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities be presented as non-current in the consolidated balance sheets. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In September 2015, the FASB issued guidance that eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Under the previous standard, an acquirer in a business combination reported provisional amounts with respect to acquired assets and liabilities when their measurements are incomplete as of the end of the reporting period, and adjusted the provisional amounts (and the related impact on earnings) by restating prior period financial statements during the measurement period not exceeding one year from the date of acquisition. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement-period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified, thus eliminating the requirement to restate prior period financial statements. The new standard requires disclosure of the nature and amount of measurement-period adjustments as well as information with respect to the portion of the adjustments recorded in current-period earnings that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustments to provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2016. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the measurement of inventory by requiring certain inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of fees paid by a customer for cloud computing arrangements. The new guidance clarifies that if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance that changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the new guidance, debt issuance costs will be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the related debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2017, and retrospective adoption is required. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued revised guidance on revenue recognition. The standard provides a single revenue recognition model which is intended to improve comparability over a range of industries, companies and geographical boundaries and to enhance disclosures. The guidance, following a one-year deferral issued by the FASB in August 2015, is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the revised guidance and assessing the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. In addition to the expanded disclosures regarding revenue, this guidance may impact timing of revenue recognition in some arrangements with variable consideration or contracts for the sale of good or services. We have determined that all other recently issued accounting standards will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or do not apply to our operations.

Significant Accounting Polici30

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Business	Description of Business: The Valspar Corporation (Valspar, the Company, we, us or our) is a global leader in the paints and coatings industry. We develop, manufacture and distribute a broad range of coatings, paints and related products, and operate our business in two reportable segments: Coatings and Paints.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year: We have a 4-4-5 week accounting cycle with the fiscal year ending on the Friday on or immediately preceding October 31. Fiscal years 2016 and 2015 both include 52 weeks while 2014 includes 53 weeks.
Principles Of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in which we have significant influence and where we do not have management control and are not the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method. In order to facilitate our year-end closing process, foreign subsidiaries’ financial results are included in our consolidated financial statements on a one-month lag.
Estimates	Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: the amount of revenue deferred under extended furniture protection plans, the amount of accounts receivable that will be uncollectible, the amount of customer rebates owed, the amount of inventory reserves, the amount to be paid for other liabilities, including contingent liabilities, assumptions around the valuation of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including impairment, our pension expense and pension funding requirements, the fair value of stock option awards and the computation of our income tax expense and liability. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue from product sales at the time the product is delivered or title has passed, a sales agreement is in place, pricing is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Discounts provided to customers at the point of sale are recognized as reductions in revenue as the products are sold. We offer promotional and rebate programs to our customers. These programs require estimates of customer participation and performance and are recorded at the time of sale as deductions from revenue. We also offer consumer programs to promote the sale of our products and record them as a reduction in revenue at the time the consumer offer is made using estimated redemption and participation. Revenues exclude sales taxes collected from our customers. Additionally, in the U.S., we sell extended furniture protection plans for which revenue is deferred and recognized over the life of the contract. An actuarial study utilizing historical claims data is used to forecast claim payments over the contract period and revenue is recognized based on the forecasted claims payments. Actual claims costs are reflected in earnings in the period incurred. Anticipated losses on programs in progress are charged to earnings when identified. Differences between estimated and actual results, which have been insignificant historically, are recognized as a change in management estimate in a subsequent period.
Freight Costs	Freight Costs: Freight costs on shipments to our customers are included in cost of sales.
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts by analyzing accounts receivable by age and specific collection risk. When it is deemed probable that a customer account is uncollectible, such as in the event of bankruptcy or other circumstances that make further collection unlikely, that balance is written off against the existing allowance.
Cash Equivalents	Cash Equivalents: We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash: Restricted cash represents cash that is restricted from withdrawal for contractual or legal reasons.
Inventories	Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Our domestic inventories, except for our Quest Specialty Chemicals (Quest) subsidiaries, are recorded using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The remaining inventories are recorded using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Other Assets	Other Assets: We have long-term contracts with certain customers, under which we are obligated to make various up-front payments for which we expect to receive a benefit in excess of the cost over the term of the contract. These up-front payments are deferred and reflected in other assets. Contract incentives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, while equipment is amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the economic life of the equipment or the term of the contract. Amortization expense for contract incentives is classified in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as a reduction of revenue. In certain circumstances, payments for equipment will meet the specific identifiable benefit criteria and the amortization expense will be classified in operating expenses.
Goodwill And Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. Indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of purchased technology, trademarks and trade names. Goodwill for each of our reporting units and indefinite-lived assets is tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter, and between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances change. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a component of an operating segment for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed by management on a regular basis. We have determined that we have four separate reporting units with goodwill. There was no change to our reporting units in 2016, 2015 or 2014. The goodwill test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the reporting unit’s fair value exceeds its carrying value, no further procedures are required. However, if the reporting unit’s fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment of goodwill may exist, requiring a second step to measure the amount of impairment loss. In step 2, we would calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets (including unrecognized intangible assets) of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference. In applying the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests, we may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units is less than its carrying value (step 0). Qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to, economic, market and industry conditions, cost factors, and overall financial performance of the reporting unit. If, after assessing these qualitative factors, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the carrying value is less than the fair value, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. For the two-step impairment test, in step 1, we calculate the fair value of the reporting units weighting the income approach and the market approach which is then compared with the reporting units carrying value. For the income approach, we utilize a discounted cash flow where the discount rate reflects the weighted average costs of capital. The income approach is most sensitive to the discount rate, long-term sales growth rates and forecasted operating margins. For the market approach, average revenue and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization multiples derived from our peer group are weighted and adjusted for size, risk and growth of the individual reporting unit to determine the reporting unit’s business enterprise fair value. Additionally, in assessing goodwill impairment, we consider the implied control premium and if it is reasonable based on other recent market transactions. For indefinite-lived intangible assets, we utilize a relief from royalty method when applying the quantitative assessment. The relief from royalty method is most sensitive to the discount rate, royalty rate and long-term sales growth rates. If the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeds the fair value of the asset, the carrying value is written down to fair value in the period identified.
Impairment Of Long-Lived Tangible And Intangible Assets With Finite Lives	Impairment of Long-Lived Tangible and Intangible Assets with Finite Lives: We evaluate long-lived assets, including tangible and intangible assets with finite lives, for indicators of impairment. An impairment loss is recognized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable. When reviewing for impairment, assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. We consider historical performance and future estimated results in our evaluation of impairment. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds expected undiscounted future cash flows, we measure the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. Intangibles with finite lives (primarily customer lists and patents) are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives.
Property, Plant And Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment, including capitalized interest, are recorded at cost. Property under capital lease is being amortized as a provision for depreciation over the shorter of the lease or their useful lives. Expenditures that improve or extend the life of the respective assets are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Provision for depreciation of property, plant and equipment are made by charges to operations at rates calculated to amortize the cost of the property, plant and equipment over their useful lives ( 20 years for buildings; 1 to 10 years for machinery and equipment) primarily using the straight-line method.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation: We recognized compensation expense for our stock-based compensation plans, which include non-qualified stock options, cash settled restricted stock units, restricted stock, and other equity settled awards. Expense for options with graded vesting is recognized using the straight-line method. The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined at the grant date and the recognition of the related expense is recorded over the requisite service period of the award. Share awards are issued from common stock in treasury. See Note 10 for additional information.
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $49,393 , $56,697 and $81,855 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation: Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates throughout the period. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on translation of assets and liabilities is recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity (accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other expense (income), net.
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments: All financial instruments are held for purposes other than trading. See Note 8 for additional information.
Research And Development	Research and Development: Research and development is expensed as incurred.
Legal Proceedings	Environmental Matters We are involved in various claims relating to environmental matters at a number of current and former plant sites and waste management sites. We engage or participate in remedial and other environmental compliance activities at certain of these sites. At other sites, we have been named as a potentially responsible party (PRP) under federal and state environmental laws for site remediation. We analyze each individual site, considering the number of parties involved, the level of our potential liability or contribution relative to the other parties, the nature and magnitude of the hazardous wastes involved, the method and extent of remediation, the potential insurance coverage, the estimated legal and consulting expense with respect to each site and the time period over which any costs would likely be incurred. Based on the above analysis, we estimate the clean-up costs and related claims for each site. The estimates are based in part on discussion with other PRPs, governmental agencies and engineering firms. We accrue appropriate reserves for potential environmental liabilities when the amount of the costs that will be incurred can be reasonably determined. Accruals are reviewed and adjusted as additional information becomes available. While uncertainties exist with respect to the amounts and timing of our ultimate environmental liabilities, we believe it is neither probable nor reasonably possible that such liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Other Legal Matters We are involved in a variety of legal claims and proceedings relating to personal injury, product liability, warranties, customer contracts, employment, trade practices, environmental and other legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. These claims and proceedings include cases where we are one of a number of defendants in proceedings alleging that the plaintiffs suffered injuries or contracted diseases from exposure to chemicals or other ingredients used in the production of some of our products or waste disposal. We are also subject to claims related to the performance of our products. We believe these claims and proceedings are in the ordinary course for a business of the type and size in which we are engaged. While we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these claims and proceedings, we believe it is neither probable nor reasonably possible that the costs and liabilities of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance on intra-entity asset transfers (other than inventory) that will require immediate recognition of current and deferred income tax consequences for intercompany asset transfers at the time of the asset transfer. Under the existing standard, current and deferred income tax consequences are recognized when the assets are sold to an outside party. This new guidance is intended to align with International Accounting Standards 12 – Income Taxes. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2017, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows and is intended to simplify guidance that is currently absent for debt prepayments and extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after business combinations, and separately identifiable cash flows, among other clarifications. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the revised guidance and assessing the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued an update to accounting standards regarding accounting for employee share-based payments. The new guidance is intended to provide simplification of share-based payment transaction accounting, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as presentation in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the revised guidance and assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on leases. The new guidance requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under existing GAAP. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020, and modified retrospective adoption is required. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the revised guidance and assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The new guidance requires that deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities be presented as non-current in the consolidated balance sheets. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In September 2015, the FASB issued guidance that eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Under the previous standard, an acquirer in a business combination reported provisional amounts with respect to acquired assets and liabilities when their measurements are incomplete as of the end of the reporting period, and adjusted the provisional amounts (and the related impact on earnings) by restating prior period financial statements during the measurement period not exceeding one year from the date of acquisition. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement-period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified, thus eliminating the requirement to restate prior period financial statements. The new standard requires disclosure of the nature and amount of measurement-period adjustments as well as information with respect to the portion of the adjustments recorded in current-period earnings that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustments to provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2016. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the measurement of inventory by requiring certain inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of fees paid by a customer for cloud computing arrangements. The new guidance clarifies that if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance that changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the new guidance, debt issuance costs will be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the related debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2017, and retrospective adoption is required. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued revised guidance on revenue recognition. The standard provides a single revenue recognition model which is intended to improve comparability over a range of industries, companies and geographical boundaries and to enhance disclosures. The guidance, following a one-year deferral issued by the FASB in August 2015, is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the revised guidance and assessing the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. In addition to the expanded disclosures regarding revenue, this guidance may impact timing of revenue recognition in some arrangements with variable consideration or contracts for the sale of good or services. We have determined that all other recently issued accounting standards will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or do not apply to our operations.

Investments held in the rabbi trust are publicly-traded mutual funds. Rabbi trust assets are considered irrevocable, and may only be used to pay participant benefits under the plan. The only exception is the event of bankruptcy, in which case the assets in the rabbi trust would be subject to the claims of creditors of the corporation. In the Consolidated Balance Sheets, rabbi trust assets are included in other assets.
